my brain boiled out of my ears when I read the US "governments opinion on this subject yesterday. You elect republicans to project strength and uphold your values. We wind up with liberal pc crapola."
It IS the State Department, always has been and always will be left-leaning, the-rest-of-the-world-is-more-important, among its professionals. Administration in power doesn't much matter.
That's why you clean house when you get into office.
